Pics from Back in the Day

[chargervert]

The other day, I was re-arranging vehicles in my garage, getting ready for winter. I had my '67 R/T idling out in the driveway, when an older man in a Buick pulled in and got out of his car. I asked if I could help him. He introduced himself and said he was a neighbour from a mile or so down the highway. He said he would occasionally see this car outside, and meant to stop in, as it reminded him of one he used as a Student Driver car when he used to teach at the local High School. He then gave me a reprinted newspaper clipping of the car. The car in the picture is a 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 SE 4-door sedan. This would have been a very deluxe vehicle for its use. Likely fairly rare in its day, I can count the number of these I have seen on the fingers of one hand. Dodge introduced the "SE" moniker part way through 1966 on its most expensive sedan, and used it extensively after that to denote its most deluxe models in series.

This 67 Coronet 500 SE 383 car was for sale recently in our area.

HEY! There's a picture form the Street Machine Nationals in Tulsa I hadn't seen! Looks like 76; where'd ya find that one?
And note... the 'flying saucer' building there - originally built as a display for the IPE [International Petroleum Exposition] it was the studios of KELi radio at this point.
